List any specialized features of your school or classroom setting (e.g., themed magnet, classroom aide, bilingual, team taught with a special education teacher) that will affect your teaching in this learning segment.
The special features of the classroom that is used for CPR include 15 manikins. There are 5 adult manikins, 5 child manikins, and 5 infant manikins. Other things that are in the classroom that affect my teaching include, breathing masks, sanitary gloves, mats, tables and chairs for infant CPR, TV/VCR/DVD player to show videos, sanitary wipes, extra wastes baskets for sanitary wipes, and facial tissues. All of these are important for teaching CPR.
Describe any district, school, or cooperating teacher requirements or expectations that might impact your planning or delivery of instruction, such as required curricula, pacing plan, use of specific instructional strategies, or standardized tests.
The organization that school district works with in teaching CPR is the American Red Cross. The students are given the opportunity to become CPR Certified through the American Red Cross for about $20.00. The test that the students are given will be about the same as the test that is given through the American Red Cross. During this unit the students will be required to learn 4 skills (Adult CPR, Child CPR, infant CPR, and AED). There are also 9 other skills that are available to test on and the student must pass at least 7 skills to pass the course. Passing any more than the seven skills will allow the student get a better grade, the more skills they test out on the better grade they will receive.

There were no accommodations that I observed in my time at West. I do know that there is a resource room that students with special needs have as an option to use if they wish.
